Belgium will be without Kevin De Bruyne and Youri Tielemans when they face France at the Stade de France on Monday at 20:45. France will also be missing Dayot Upamecano.
L'Équipe reports that De Bruyne and Tielemans are suspended after cautions on Friday, with Upamecano banned following his red card. France drew 1-1 with Italy on Friday.
De Bruyne scored twice in Belgium's 3-0 win over Türkiye on matchday three of the Nations League, but was booked in the 80th minute, his second caution of this international window.
Tielemans, Belgium's captain, was shown a yellow around the half-hour mark, having already been booked against France in Monday's 0-1 defeat earlier in the window.
Both midfielders have started each of the first three matches under Mark Van Bommel.
